thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

civa, other than this sound is there anything more

"Auspicious and Perfect" in this world ? He eats

begging; skin is the clothing; over that a snake

swaying; fearsome cemetery is the abode; ornament

is skull ! Still if analyzed, realizing His affluence

and His qualities, the divines seek Him.

 

Notes:

1. Our Lord gets adorned with all those things

the world considers inauspicious, but the God is

called shiva the auspicious and perfect ! We, who

are not inherently auspicious need the external

prosperity (that too which are non permanent) to

establish our goodness. But why does the naturally

Supreme, Eternal and Blissful God need all these

ostentations outside ? The smart ones realize His

glory and get benefited, so are the devas, who

got all their glories from Him.

(c.f ariya kAtchiyarAy - thiruppAchuram)

2. chemmai - perfection; aiyam - alms; adhaL - skin;

aravam - snake; karikADu - cemetry; kalan - ornament;

peRRi - possession; n^Irmai - nature; n^Ervar -

seek/penance.
